TL;DR: Claudit runs entirely on your Mac. All data stays local. Nothing is sent to external servers. Your privacy is our priority.
1. Overview
Claudit is a native macOS application that provides real-time usage analytics for Claude Code. This privacy policy explains how we handle your data and protect your privacy.
Most importantly: Claudit operates entirely locally on your Mac. All data processing happens on your machine, and no data is transmitted to external servers.
2. Data Collection and Storage
2.1 Local File Access
Claudit reads usage data from Claude Code's local JSONL files located at:
~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl
These files contain:
- Token usage statistics (input/output tokens)
- Model information
- Session identifiers
- Timestamps
- Project paths
This data never leaves your Mac. It is read, processed, and displayed locally within the application.
2.2 Claude Configuration Files
Claudit may also read configuration files from:
~/.claude.json- Global Claude Code configuration~/.claude/settings.json- Claude Code settings- Project-specific
CLAUDE.mdfiles
This information is used solely to display your projects, agents, plugins, and MCP server configurations within the app. None of this data is transmitted externally.
2.3 Application Settings
Claudit stores your preferences locally on your Mac, including:
- Notification preferences
- Display settings
- Window positions and sizes
These settings are stored in standard macOS application support directories and are never shared.
3. Local HTTP Server
Claudit runs a local HTTP server on localhost:3456 (or ports 3457-3466 if 3456 is unavailable)
to receive events from Claude Code hooks. This server:
- Only listens on localhost (127.0.0.1)
- Is not accessible from other devices on your network
- Does not transmit data to external servers
- Is used solely for real-time notifications when Claude Code completes responses
The server receives minimal event data (event type, optional tool name, timestamp) and uses it only to trigger local notifications. This data is not logged or stored permanently.
4. No External Data Transmission
Claudit does not:
- Send any data to external servers
- Use analytics or tracking services
- Collect personal information
- Share data with third parties
- Require internet connectivity for core functionality
The only network activity occurs when you manually:
- Download the app from our website
- Check for updates (if you enable this feature)
- Access external links (GitHub, documentation, etc.)
5. Data Security
Since all data remains on your Mac:
- Your usage statistics are protected by macOS file system permissions
- Claudit only accesses files in standard Claude Code directories
- No data is stored in cloud services or external databases
- You have full control over your data
If you delete Claude Code's JSONL files, Claudit will simply stop displaying that historical data. The app does not maintain its own separate database.
6. Backup and Export Features
Claudit provides optional backup and export features that allow you to:
- Create local backups of your Claude configuration
- Export usage data for your own analysis
These features save files to locations you specify on your Mac. We do not have access to these files, and they are not uploaded anywhere automatically.
7. Open Source
Claudit is open source software. You can review the source code on GitHub to verify our privacy claims. The codebase is publicly available for inspection.
8. Third-Party Services
Claudit does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services. The app is self-contained and operates independently.
If you choose to use Claude Code's AI suggestions feature within Claudit, those requests are made directly to Claude's API (as configured in your Claude Code settings), not through Claudit's servers.
9. Children's Privacy
Claudit is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we don't collect any personal information, this is not applicable, but we include it for completeness.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this page. Since Claudit is a local application, significant privacy policy changes would typically coincide with app updates.
11. Your Rights
Since all data remains on your Mac, you have complete control:
- You can stop using Claudit at any time
- You can delete the app and all its local settings
- You can delete Claude Code's JSONL files to remove historical data
- You can review the source code to verify our privacy practices
12. Contact
If you have questions about this privacy policy or Claudit's data practices, you can:
- Open an issue on GitHub
- Review the source code to verify our claims
- Contact the maintainer through the GitHub repository
Summary: Claudit is designed with privacy in mind. Everything runs locally on your Mac. No data collection. No external transmission. Your data stays yours.
